This course is dedicated for scientists and students
to learn (sequential) programming with Fortran
of scientific applications.
The course teaches newest Fortran standards.
Hands-on sessions will allow users
to immediately test and understand the language constructs.
This workshop provides scientific training in Computational Science,
and in addition, the scientific exchange of the participants among themselves.

PRACE PATC

HLRS is part of the
Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS), which is one of the six
PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATCs) that started in
Feb. 2012.
The mandate for the PATCs is as follows:
"The PRACE Advanced Training Centres will serve as European hubs of advanced,
world-class training for researchers working in the computational sciences."
(see D3.2.3)
This course is a PATC course, see also the PRACE Training
Portal and
Events.
For participants from public research institutions in PRACE countries,
the course fee is sponsored through the PRACE PATC program.

At the first or second evening we schedule a short guided walk through the city
followed by a dinner Stuttgart's first restaurant-brewery,
the "Calwer Eck" (Swabian restaurant).
On Wednesday, we plan to organize a visit in our 3-D visualization CAVE.
At (Tuesday or) Thursday, a visit of the exhibition of contemporary art in the "New States Gallery"
is recommended (opened until 8pm).
Also fun is a visit of Stuttgart's TV-tower in the evening.
It is the first tower build of concrete in the world, and also the first TV tower in the world.
If you arrive already on Sunday morning, you may visit the world class
Mercedes Museum.
All social events are on a self paying basis, i.e., not part of any course fees.
We would be happy if you can join these events.

If you cannot come to the course, please
send an email to the organizer as soon as possible.
This would allow us to accept additional participants
from the waiting-list. There is no cancelation fee.
NO-SHOW:
Registered persons that do not cancel and do not show up without any
reasons are blocked for the next year on any of our workshops
(because it is too expensive to produce unused copies of the slides
for them).

Limit

maximum of 50 participants in Stuttgart
(according to the seats in the rooms).
